Roster Reduced to 53; Peake In, Hansen, McBride Out

The NY Jets announced the roster moves needed to get to the 53 man limit today. Charone Peake made the cut at wide receiver over both Chad Hansen and Tre McBride. McBride had a strong camp, but Peake’s value on special teams was most likely the deciding factor. There are currently six wide receivers on the roster and special teams also played a factor in keeping Andre Roberts because he can return punts.

Glenn Naughton broke down some of the earlier roster cuts and he mentioned that Jason Myers won the kicking job. If you are auditioning and you make a 58 yard field goal, you make it really hard for the team to cut you.
